About Hell Target

Here is what Hell Target (ヘルターゲット) is about, retold in plain terms: a horror and sci-fi anime by Nakamura Production (1987). At its core: A spaceship is lost near the forbidden planet of Inferno II. Some years later, a second ship with a crew of nine gets there and encounters a monster that rapidly makes mince meat of most of them.

Further in, the sole survivor, Makuro Kitazato, has to destroy the monster before it can surprise a third ship that is already en route.

As a horror title, atmosphere, sound and restraint do the heavy lifting. Voice work is led by Akira Murayama as Kitazato Makurou and Gara Takashima as Meryl Brown. If you count yourself among viewers comfortable with dark, unsettling material, put it on your list. At 1 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.

Production & Appeal

The horror focus matters here: atmosphere, sound and restraint do the heavy lifting. Its 4.0/10 score suggests opinions are split, so it suits viewers who already like the genre. Voice casting, including Akira Murayama as Kitazato Makurou, adds to the appeal for fans who follow seiyuu. Released in 1987, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
